Bergamot &
Ivy Care Instructions for Azalea
Several
different species have been bred and developed to provide
the superb range of azaleas now available for indoor decoration.
Commercial propagation and vegetative growth usually takes
place in warm climates, with the liners (young plants) being
shipped to northern greenhouses for continued development.
Year round azaleas are produced in controlled environments,
using artificial lighting and refrigeration to control growth,
budding and dormancy.
Colors
include white, pink, salmon, red, purple, variegated pink
and white, and red and white.
Individual
Azalea flowers last for 5 to10 days, depending on variety
and temperature as well as other environmental factors. Plants
flower for periods of two to eight weeks.
